Re: When does the plug fire?
"Every time the points open, the flow of current is interrupted through the coil, thereby collapsing the magnetic field and releasing a high voltage surge through the secondary coil windings. This voltage surge goes out the top of the coil and through the high-tension coil wire. Now, we have the voltage necessary to fire the spark plug"
